A tertiary (fossil) gold-bearing gravel bed once stretched across the current topography which is now eroded away. The top of Rich Hill was called "potato patch" because of all the nuggets they found there which were the erosional remnants of the old gravel bed. There is mining continuing there today. The nuggets measure 1 3/4 " and 2" respectively.
